Ospreys sign Cardiff hooker Daniel

Efan Daniel made his Cardiff debut during the 2021-22 season

Cardiff hooker Efan Daniel has joined Ospreys ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Daniel made 24 appearances during his time with Cardiff and has played for Wales at Under-20 level.

The 22-year-old was called up to Wales' senior squad that toured Australia last summer and featured as a replacement against Queensland Reds.

"The boys and coaches have been great since I got here and have all made me feel welcome, it's like I've been here for a few years instead of a couple weeks," Daniel said.

"The Ospreys were the team I watched the most growing up, so I'm looking forward to putting on the black jersey and making an impact wherever I can."

Ospreys head coach Mark Jones said Daniel was a player he had long admired and said: "It's exciting to have him as part of our setup.

"We've got a good blend of youth and experience at hooker which is highly important with it being such a specialised position.

"We feel we're in a really strong position in our front row now and set up well for the season ahead."
